Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed IND polled 13,146 votes, 1.4× the 9,077-vote margin.
13,146 ÷ 9,077 = 1.4
The top two polled 60.3% of votes; the other 15 candidates 39.7% between them.
(30,491 + 21,414) ÷ 86,144 = 60.3% · 34,187 ÷ 86,144 = 39.7%
Turnout of 57.9% was 4.8 pp below the state's median seat (62.7%).
57.9 − 62.7 = −4.8
The margin widened from 1.4 pp in 2002 to 10.5 pp.
10.5 − 1.4 = +9.1 pp
